- The ease with which you can localize a program's user interface is a good indication of whether the underlying code is properly internationalized.
- Win32 resource files are a convenient mechanism for isolating, editing, and compiling the localizable elements of a program's user interface. To create a different language edition of a program, you need only change the resources.
- The Win32 SDK contains tools for creating, editing, and compiling resources. Microsoft Visual C++ 2 integrates these tools into a single editing environment.
- Win32 resource strings are compiled into Unicode format, but the .RC file format is still commonly expressed in Windows character sets. You can compile multilingual resources encompassing different character sets using the RC compiler that comes with the Win32 SDK.
- A good localization tool for an ongoing project tracks when developers add, change, or delete user interface elements in the application. It also minimizes common mistakes made by translators and provides context information and database suggestions to increase translation accuracy and speed.
- Designing your native-language dialog boxes with room to spare minimizes time spent resizing them.
- Message tables conveniently store alert and error messages that contain more than one replacement parameter. Message tables can contain text in multiple languages and character sets.
- You should store localizable constants, but not strings, in RCDATA resources.
- Because resources in Win32 are indexed by language as well as by type and name, you can compile multiple-language resources in a single executable or into separate DLLs and switch the language of your program's user interface at run time.
- A version stamp can be used to declare which languages a given executable or DLL supports.

My family and I stayed in Sterling, VA for a night from NYC. We visited Mokomandy after reading the wonderful reviews. The restaurant is quite contemporary and fashionable, with comfortable aluminum chairs and lots of mirrors. The menu has a solid mix of Korean and Cajun foods. You can order small plates, medium plates or large plates-- great for mixing and matching.
I've never had such outstanding and caring service before in an upscale restaurant. The waiter made a mistake with my order. When we (casually) mentioned the mistake, he immediately told the head chef/owner, who came out to apologize for the mistake, and immediately rectified the situation.
It was amazing because we very casually mentioned the mistake (I was too busy eating the other delicious entrees to really be bothered), yet the staff has a proactive policy to rectify any problems. The owner made us feel welcome and at home. I think this is the mark of a wonderful restaurant, and highly recommend it to any one in the area.

Dean tells why he decided to quit
The dean of Baptist University's School of Communication, embroiled in a row over the premature release of opinion poll results on the chief executive election, said he hoped his resignation would end a 'power struggle'.
Professor Zhao Xinshu also accused the media of harassing his family - hurting 'innocent people', in a letter released last night by the university's public affairs department. He reiterated that he had not been under any political pressure when he decided to publish the survey results prematurely.
'Reporters wait outside my apartment complex day and night, weekdays and weekends, bothering my neighbours. Several of them claimed to be delivery men, forcing their way into my apartment, harassing my family even when I was not home,' he said in the resignation letter, which he submitted on Friday.
'What started as a concern for democracy and academic freedom in Hong Kong has evolved into a power struggle within office. I hope my resignation will help to end all this.'
Zhao said some of his colleagues, unrelated to the survey, had been 'personally attacked' in the media in the past few days and he was concerned 'more and more ... innocent people will be attacked'.
But one of Zhao's colleagues said he knew nothing of any power struggle at the university and urged Zhao to explain what he meant by the term.
'It's a very generic term. He should explain it clearly in public. All he's saying now is that he hasn't done anything wrong,' said To Yiu-ming, a spokesman for the university's faculty and staff union and a teacher at the School of Communication.
'Who can struggle with him? He holds all the power.'
Zhao said speculation that he released the survey result prematurely under political pressure was unsubstantiated, because no one would have known the final result would be less favourable to Henry Tang Ying-yen.
He said the sample size for the early release, 836, was 'reasonably large ... larger than many polls in Hong Kong today'. He added: 'I never put my hands on the raw data. So I or anyone who might have exercised pressure could not have compared the weighted results with the unweighted results, and chosen one favouring one candidate.'
But Zhao said he would have handled the matter differently if he 'had known better'.
'I should have stopped releasing the poll results on January 13 after one of my staff received the phone call from Henry Tang's office, not because it was a premature or early release, but because it would raise suspicion, as it did.' He said he took full responsibility for the misjudgment.
Meanwhile, Zhao could face an Independent Commission Against Corruption investigation into allegations from some teaching staff that he spent university money to buy equipment that was not used by the institution. University president Professor Albert Chan Sun-chi said it would look into the allegations.

There are now about four DTV converter-box coupons for every U.S. household lacking TV reception. Was there a significant need in cold climates for pocket-sized ice scrapers? Where are these things going? Demand spiked for the little plastic coupons on July 31, the final day of the program, when the Commerce Department received 169,000 requests--three times the preceding daily average. They are quite handsome, actually; snappy red with a very official-looking federal logo. I personally will miss using the government-supplied image of the coupon, which I've plastered on related stories over the last two years. If Cash-for-Clunkers had a similarly attractive coupon, the program might have got off the ground.Maybe Cash-for-Clunkers drove the run on DTV converter coupons. Clunkers and converters comprise the only two government hand-outs that just about anyone can get. There is the small necessity of having a clunker to get the related rebate. And in all likelihood, the pesky nuisance of having a job to make the payments because there are no $4,500 new cars. Then there's the requisite desire to take on another payment. All in all, the bicycle starts looking pretty good, as does the DTV converter coupon. Forty large, good for a $60 box. That's a deal, really.It makes me wish I would have applied for a couple. Oh, that's right. I did. On the first day of the program. Never heard a word. And I knew some of the people running the program. That just goes to show the depth and breadth of my influence. Yes indeedie-do. So I will get neither cash for a clunker nor will I get $40 for a DTV converter box. I will merely help pay for them. Thank you cards, though somewhat out of vogue, are always welcome here.But back to there being four times as many coupons as needy homes, and twice as many if they have two TVs like most households do unless you're Rep. Joe Barton (R-Texas), then you have eleventy-five and brag about it during a hearing at which you object to funding the coupon program. Maybe therein lies the explanation for this mysterious disparity in coupons versus households left in the digital dust. Lawmakers, notorious for doing as little as possible at the very last minute, inundated the coupon program with requests on the last day. Just to make sure they'd actually get that $40 bene, they had everyone in their extended families apply as well. It's probably for the best. It would be a tragedy if members of Congress couldn't vote on "American Idol." Who knows what else they'd dream up if they weren't otherwise distracted? I'm sure we'll find out.

Bringing the Rain to Kapiti Plain based on 0 ratings. 4 reviews.
Ki-Pat watches over his herd on the African Plain, but he has to come up with a plan to make it rain when they are suffering through a time of drought. This folktale is great for building fluency because it uses rhyme and repetition to tell the story. It is a great story to use for teaching sequencing/order of events or cause and effect. My 3rd graders enjoyed it, and were able to do things with it like performing it like a rap, drawing comic strips that showed the sequence of events, etc.
Ths story of Kipat is told as a repetitive poem, the images of the vast savananah and the magical world of a shepherd boy illustrated with spare, vibrant lines and colors and a pulsing rhythm. This was the favorite bedtime story of both my sons for years, although it occasionally puts the reader to sleep before the story's end! Lovely, enchanting and the perfect way to end the day with a young child.
We really enjoy this book alot. We read it so much that we can remember it without looking at the book. The book is about a BIG black cloud all heavy with rain and all the animals are hungry and dry. Plus they needed the rain from the cloud. So animals can eat and drink.
this book is REALLY GOOD!!! It went through my older sister, me, and then my younger brother. It was all of our favorite book. it's good for teaching rhythm and rhyming. I still love this book. Even 12 years later!

500 adult's snorkel - blue
Réf :
Le plus produit
The 500 snorkel's valve makes it easier to expel water.
User benefits
Water drainage
Any water in the snorkel is easily expelled through the valve at the bottom.
Wave guard at the top to prevent water from being splashed into the snorkel.
Mouth comfort
Orthodontic silicone mouthpiece for maximum comfort.
Orange snorkel top for heightened visibility on the surface.
Anatomic design
Ergonomic snorkel and snorkel clip shape to fit closer to the face.
Easy breathing
Tube diameter especially designed for adults.
Technical card
With valve
Upper Part - Main Fabric : 100.0% Polypropylene (PP) Lower Part - Main Fabric : 70.0% Polycarbonate (PC), 30.0% Silicone
made for
adult snorkellers for moderate-intensity snorkelling.
2 years
Conseils d'entretien
Rinse with fresh water after use.
Storage Tips
Store in a dry place away from light.
Restrictions on use
Children under 1.5 metres. Not suitable for intensive swimming.
This product contains no PVC.
Part of the snorkel that is placed in the mouth. Its specially designed shape makes it one of the most comfortable snorkels for your mouth.
Snorkel tube
The size and volume of the snorkel are adapted to adult breathing.
Wave guard
The tube at the top of the snorkel is curved to prevent water from entering the snorkel. In this way, it limits water entry through the top of the snorkel.
How to use the valve
Simply blow out gently to empty the snorkel through the valve. After breathing out, be careful when you breathe back in; inhale slowly as some residual water can remain in the snorkel. If in doubt, do not panic; raise your head out of the water and the snorkel will empty itself instantly through the valve. High-speed intensive swimming is not recommended as it can move the valve and cause water to enter.
Water can enter the snorkel during your snorkelling sessions (surface splashes, immersion). The valve located at the bottom of the snorkel makes it easier to expel water. Most of the water is drained from the bottom, which means the user does not have to blow out so hard (unlike a conventional snorkel where the water is drained from the top).
Silicone is an extremely flexible and hypoallergenic material. The silicone mouthpiece provides increased mouth comfort.
Valve maintenance
Sometimes sand or salt gets stuck between the valve and the hard part of the snorkel, this prevents the valve from lying flat and ensuring a watertight seal. In this case, simply rinse the snorkel thoroughly with clean water and check that the valve lays flat.

Coatings Technology
With the warmer temperatures, many Americans are beginning to consider mowing and lawn maintenance for their… eh hmm… building facades.
Wait a minute…their building facades?
It could be the future if Sangmin Bae, a professor from Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), has any say in the matter.
Bae, in conjunction with his ID+IM Design Laboratory in Korea, has developed a "Grass Paint" product technology that makes it possible to plant grass anywhere, even on building walls or asphalt, according to the product description.
His two-component formulation combines grass seeds with a mixture of plant nutrients, pulp, and CMC nontoxic glue that is reported to work by rolling the "seed roller" in the mixture and then onto any surface.
A video of the technology is posted here.
Grass is reported to appear in a matter of days and live up to six months, depending on climate and type of seed used.
The uses for the prototype vary, according to an article on fastcodesign.com. The author suggests the grass paint could be used to cover unsightly graffiti that plagues buildings or public spaces or perhaps cool off hot asphalt parking lots by transforming them into temporary parks. See Grass Paint Turns Buildings Into Mega Chia Pets.
But a grassy facade? The aesthetic merits of the idea would seem debatable. On the other hand, the potential for a relatively non-intensive "green roof" might be greater.
Bae also told Co.Design the idea for the grass paint germinated from looking at ways to express "visual enjoyment" in an eco-friendly fashion.
And so, in the future, it could be just another chore…"Go mow the building."

We are composed of people who through their faith in Jesus Christ have been graciously reunited with God. We are growing together, so we can increasingly experience what it means to be forgiven of sin, made right with God, and live by His Spirit. Three emphases are highlighted at Main Street Church in our desire to make our salvation a lived community experience:
We are Christ-Centered.
Our first priority and passion is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ. Our worship is genuine to the extent that we love and obey Christ. Jesus is so much more than a way to attain human happiness. He is the hope of the whole earth. We believe we were created to love and worship him. Only in this pursuit is lasting human joy found.
We are Cross-Generational.
We believe the church is the family of God. Families are composed of parents, grandparents & sons & daughters. Interacting and loving across the generations cultivates peace, maturity, and strength in the family of God.
We are Community-Involved.
We believe Jesus is the hope of the whole world. We express our hope by living in such a way that friends & neighbors see Jesus in us. As joyful servants in the community, we endeavor to communicate to our neighbors how much Jesus loves them.

Welcome to a short four-part series of advice tidbits that can help guide you through the graphic design process. Last month we covered the first myth, "More is More which you can see in the media tab on my web site http://www.kristalcleargraphics.com. Whether you're a small repair business with a marketing plan or the VP of an amateur golf league with an annual membership booklet to design, there are some basic art, business and communication principles, that everyone should understand. It might be easier than you think to believe these myths because in the short run it appears to be the cheaper, quicker and overall, easier decision. However, make yourself aware of these pitfalls and trust me, you'll be better off and more likely to avoid these mistakes.
Graphic Design Myths: #2. It's Too Expensive to Hire a Graphic Designer
"I can do it myself on Word or Publisher." This is a common thought for some companies when brainstorming on ways to cut their budgets and save money. Well, I'd also like to throw in the phrase, "You get what you pay for."
For most entrepreneurs, if they're not trained in design and/or marketing, I would definitely not recommend creating business marketing pieces on their own, and I would never recommend designing them in the above mentioned programs. While people can do it, they won't be fooling anyone. Often this amateur design, while cheap to produce, can make a poor first impression of a business that looks less than professional and/or untrustworthy. The outcome: the company loses that new business and extra revenue.
Still think it's cheaper to do your own graphic design? Let's crunch the numbers. As the owner of a company, what does "Joe Smith" pay himself an hour? Whether he finds a graphic designer who charges $20/hr or $120/hr, it will still cost him more to do it himself because it will take him much longer than a graphic artist. Usually a designer's rate is based on their experience: The higher the rate, the more experience, and often the quicker they work. The professional designer will be able to throw out a stellar brochure design in a fraction of the time it will take Joe to figure out his program and create his design. Plus because this is his first or second attempt, the design will reflect that experience level.
But budgets are still tight, and you need to watch what you spend. Well, try some non-traditional ways of dealing with a graphic designer. I have clients who tell me their budget for a project and I often can design them something according to that allotted amount of time. Because of the time restraints, it might not have all the bells and whistles or revision opportunities of a larger budget, but they still have a professional looking piece. I have lots of ideas of how to make it work with your budget. Just ask!

Just delightful and peaceful. Clean eco friendly accommodation that fits well into the landscape. Bed could do with an overhaul but otherwise loved it.
This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
This was our first stopover in South Island and our chalet was the highest on the site. What a view, sunrise was just stunning. It was a real treat to be able to spread out and enjoy the space that our chalet provided. We had a full kitchen and living room on one side then through the veranda to our bedroom and bathroom. Five nights in Abel Tasman and we could happily have stayed longer. I can highly recommend Ocean View Chalets.

Water trip by tractor as one does
Woken by sunrise, pretty, but way too early, after breakfast we booked a water taxi trip for three hours. Picked up at 10:15 and taken down to the local visitor centre for our tractor trip to the water. Great system to get in the boat on land - tractored down to the beach and launched into the bay without getting a toe wet. We had 5 others on the …
Some definite wow moments

P.S. We fly out tomorrow to Honolulu. We'll be there for 4 days with our primary focus of visiting Pearl Harbor and a photography friend. We arrive home on Saturday afternoon, March 22nd. Stay tuned!

And every week, there was the unspoken question, the one I didn't know enough to ask myself : Have you found her yet? The one who reminds you of you?
Twenty years after she lived at a homeless shelter for teens, Janice Erlbaum went back to volunteer. Now thirty-four years old and a successful writer, she'd changed her life for the better; now she wanted to help someone else–someone like the girl she'd once been.
Then she met Sam. A brilliant nineteen-year-old junkie savant, the product of a horrifically abusive home, Sam had been surviving alone on the streets since she was twelve and was now struggling for sobriety against the adverse health effects of long-term drug abuse.
Soon Janice found herself caring deeply for Sam, following her through detoxes and psych wards, halfway houses and hospitals, becoming ever more manically driven to save her from the sickness and sadness leftover from Sam's terrible past. But just as Janice was on the verge of becoming the girl's legal guardian, she made a shocking discovery: Sam was sicker than anyone knew, in ways nobody could have imagined.
Written with startling candor and immediacy, Have You Found Her is the story of one woman's quest to save a girl's life–and the hard truths she learns about herself along the way.
"A rich and compelling account . . . Ultimately this is a book about the narrator's journey and the dangers that attend the urge within us all to believe we can save another soul. A terrific read."
–Cammie McGovern, author of Eye Contact
About the Author
Janice Erlbaum is the author of two memoirs, Girlbomb: A Halfway Homeless Memoir (Villard/Random House, 2006), and Have You Found Her (Villard/Random House, 2008). She lives with her husband in her native New York City, where she teaches writing. She can be found at www.girlbomb.com.

>How about this for a new iPhone? Double the thickness so it doesn't bend in half and give it a battery which can last for 3 days between charges?
Can't you achieve that by putting a standard iPhone in a battery case?

>How about this for a new iPhone? Double the thickness so it doesn't bend in half and give it a battery which can last for 3 days between charges?

>This way the device will know it's in your back pocket and won't magically unlock itself and dial Zimbabwe when you sit on it. No more butt-dialling!
>The future is now.
Damn right - just sew an NFC-tag into each pocket of each of your trousers, and instruct the phone to remain locked when in range of them, and job's a goodun'!
>Apple is full of marketing geniuses.
Actually, the message you outlined as "It's much the same as the last iPhone, but ever-so-slightly better in lots of areas" is easy to communicate to would-be customers; no genius required! :-)
>Sturmey Archer hubs cost a lot more than they used to.
Haha! You should see the price of Rholoff 14 speed hubs.... about £800! However, people who are setting on a 10,000 mile expedition by bike find the reliability and minimal maintenance worth the high asking price and extra weight.
Apple owners include some drivers of 10 year-old VW Passat estates, some pedestrians who wear Tricker's brogues, some skateboarders riding Independent decks, some users of the Swindon to Paddington rail line etc etc
Riders of fixie bikes though don't really want an iPhone. They want a WASP T12 SpeechTool: http://trashbat.co.ck/
According to Richard's Bicycle Book ( late nineties edition), the only purpose of fixed-wheel bikes was for training - forcing the rider to spin quickly when going down hill and pedal powerfully when going up can help tone their legs.
If I lived in a mostly flat area, I might not bother with gears (one less mechanism to maintain, and a single-speed bike can have thicker, more durable chains and sprockets), but free-wheel hubs are so reliable that there is no practical reason not to fit one.
Each to their own. My personal preference for a flat city would be a BMX (if chained to a fence those small tough wheels present a challenge to any pisshead who wishes to kick them in), but I would respect the choice of anyone riding a cyclocross bike, hybrid, folding Brompton, mountain bike, whatever if it works for them.
Pocket Lint reckon the Honor 7 call quality is "perfectly fine", supporting the assumption that a review will often only touch on this aspect if it is drastically better or worse than average.
>shame about non-removable battery but 99.9% of users won't bother.
Thank you for reminding me to charge my 5200 mAh USB 'power brick' - I'm just packing for a three-day long festival, so It'll be handy. (not that I'm planning on using my phone much, but it's nice to have).
>Journaling wont catch silent corruption. Only ZFS does.
And BTFS, though the vibe is that it isn't production ready yet. I guess if 10 billion people used a file system for a year and nobody reported any faults, you wouldn't need a mathematical proof.
>Just when you thought it was safe to go back on the roads
Just because you are hopelessly lost doesn't mean that you have to drive dangerously!
Bizarrely, some roads that cross from England to Scotland have signs saying "Drive on the Left". I wonder if there was ever an incident that prompted these signs for the bleedingly obvious?
Something that was never branded Foxconn can't, by definition, be rebranded. Make valid points about Apple's business practices by all means, but please don't talk gibberish in the style of Anna Leach.
Apple want to make money, and they have a track record that shows that they know how to do that. Part of Apple's strategy is to investigate potential opportunities, and then to pick the avenues that they predict will work well for them. So, one can assume that Apple pay a lot of very bright people to investigate opportunities. These bright people are then provided with the best information that money can buy, and have the resources to conduct expensive original research themselves.
Will Apple make a conventional car? Probably not. Is this an area that shows signs of being disrupted? Yes (see: Uber, Tesla, car clubs, fuels prices, car automation research). Does Apple have a record of working with outside parties? Yes (iTunes and record labels, iPhones and network operators)
The analyst doesn't know. I don't know. Apple don't know, but they will do due process.
Rule 92 of the internet: Wired.com are clueless.
To answer your question:
Popcorn-Time presents torrents with a streaming-style UI. Whilst you are watching content on PopcornTime, you become a Torrent peer, uploading. Indeed, you can even drang n drop a torrent file from a website into PopcornTiime and it will play, after buffering.
PopornTime.io says they send you through a Proxy; Popcorntime.se does not, and in addition it sends your CPU cycles skywards. Wired.com being what it is advertised the latter. Go figure.
>By Third World you mean it should moved to Venus?
Er, Venus is only the Third World from the sun if you still believe in the planet Vulcan... but the observations that hinted at it were later explained by adopting Einstein's theories over Newton's.
Nice Heinlein-inspired tag!
You saw QI last night then? (Context for other readers: 'Third World' was first used top refer to countries that were aligned with neither the USA or USSR, before later being used to refer to poor countries. We now use 'Developing Nations' for the latter, a loaded phrase itself since it suggests an 'inevitable' direction.)
Whoah. Fox News broadcast a terrible obituary of Kurt Vonnegut, so this report of the FBI's attitude towards Bradbury seems entirely plausible.
What's worrying is that Fox were looking to trash Vonnegut and his humanist values in 2007 - that is far less remote than the paranoia of decades ago.
Google: 'youtube fox news kurt vonnegut obituary'
Perhaps there is a way of recording how many views a video has had at the time it is first nominated for the competition.
>Are their lives so shallow/meaningless that they can't come up with their own pointless drivel?
They have had the gumption to share things that amuse them and enjoy the activity of bringing people together, thus ticking the following boxes: humour, activity, community, celebration.
For all we know this is just what they do for kicks when thy aren't busy curing cancer or whatever.
Whooh, the Palm Pre... it can't have been that long ago, but I'd already nearly forgotten it. Shame, it seemed like a nice device, and the one Pre user I met liked its OS.
BB is an OEM, but they are also a provider of services, as Google are.
To do that would require more testing, and cause confusion amongst some customers. Even for the type of user who likes reading the XDA forums from time to time would find a dual-booting phone a sub-optimal experience. I mean, if you were on a desktop PC and you just needed to use an application on a different OS for five minutes, you'd find it more convenient to use a virtual machine or a WINE-type facility... you wouldn't want to have to restart your machine.
On a Blackberry-class phone, this is even more important - you wouldn't want to risk missing a phone call from a potential client, would you?
Also, how would you synchronise your call logs between your two OSs?
So then BB would have to test the integration between the OSs, as well as testing them separately.
Five days ago The Reg reported that Google is postponing its limited launch of Project Ara - a modular component system for mobile phones. In response to that story, I osted a comment about expanding the Ara concept to laptop/tablet sized components:
As a modular systems for just phones, it may prove to be a bit niche- many users might find that their needs are more simply met by owning a selection of traditional handsets and selecting one for twon and another for the woods.
However, if this modular system is extended to tablet screens, keyboards and more, the possibilities become more interesting. A user could create any of the following:
- 5" clamshell with a Psion 5 - style keyboard...
- ...or candy-bar with Blackberry-style keyboard if that's your thing.
- 12" tablet with pen digister and full size SD-Card slot for working with discreet cameras
- 7" e-ink configuration, with light-weight battery for comfortable reading
- physical controllers for games
- good quality camera modules, akin to Sony's QX-100
- laptop
- desk-bound workstation
- High-end audio interfaces / microphones, for musicians and journalists
>Decent screen and keyboard should be pretty long lasting.
Then our experiences must differ! In less than ideal environments, keyboards get gummed up or blocked by crumbs, and screens are prone to accidental damage. And that's in the developed world amongst adults, let alone in possibly dustier environments amongst children!
True, you you go the ToughBook route and make them more durable, but it is by no means certain that this would be a more efficient approach than easily swapping out defunct units.
@The Axe
You are painting a rosy yet cynical picture in which children get conned over biscuits in order to 'inoculate' them against dodgy pension investments 40 years later.
Yes, I take your point that we learn better from our mistakes. I for one have never gambled money as an adult because I once fed a fruit machine with Franc coins as a child, trying to win back the first Franc I lost.
However, we as adults cannot be expert in all things. I am not a chemist or biologist, so I trust the 'nanny state' to protect me from any water company that would seek to cut corners in their purification processes. Even if I had that expertrise, i probably couldn't be arsed to test every glass I drink. Likewise, in a democracy it stands that if a majority of parents don't want chocolate to be advertised during children's television segments, then the wish of these parents should be expressed through the elected government.
The NBC series '30 Rock' has a message in the credits to the effect of "Commercial consideration provided by Apple", and indeed the show is full of Macbooks, iPhones and iMacs.
NBC used to produce a show called Community. After they cancelled it and Yahoo! picked up it up, all the Macbooks in the show have circular stickers over the Apple logos on the lids.
Of course both shows are a bit 'meta', meaning that refer to their own product placement in a 'knowing' way - much like the product placement skit in Wayne's World 2. The premise of 30 Rock is that Alec Baldwin's character is head of "NBC and General Electrics Microwave Programming" to the detriment of the broadcaster. One episode of Community revolved around a charismatic man who is paid to talk about the positive aspects of his Honda SUV to people in his peer group - and of course Honda paid Yahoo for this.
>I find myself asking who the [REDACTED] is so inversely inpactected by vBlog advertising
Ultimately, it is the vBloggers themselves who stand to benefit from this intervention. If their viewers become jaded and lose trust in them, nobody benefits - not the vLoggers, the viewers or the advertisers.
Take your Windows 8 example - I don't recognise the situation you sketch, but then I only regularly visit tech sites that I trust - or least have a feel for their style.
Were I be the type to watch vBlogs, I imagine that I would get a feel for the individuals, much as I do for film reviewers. Sun Online say the film is AMAZING! = ignore. That contrarian git from the Guardian says the film is RUBBISH! = it's probably pretty good fun.
Why do you draw the line? Various territories have attempted to limit advertising for decades.
Without state intervention, the situation you would have is basically this: A whole team of marketeers skilled in the dark arts of psychology Vs a naive individual. And if that individual is too young to have educated themselves about how advertising works, the situation is even more one sided.
"In The Hidden Persuaders, first published in 1957, [Vance] Packard explores the use of consumer motivational research and other psychological techniques, including depth psychology and subliminal tactics, by advertisers to manipulate expectations and induce desire for products, particularly in the American postwar era. He identified eight "compelling needs" that advertisers promise products will fulfill. According to Packard these needs are so strong that people are compelled to buy products to satisfy them. The book also explores the manipulative techniques of promoting politicians to the electorate. The book questions the morality of using these techniques."
>some bloggers were paid to post videos featuring Oreo cookies
Most US crosswords feature 'OREO' as an answer fairly often.... I wonder if the clue setters get a free packet?
Joking aside, due to the format of US crosswords the clue setter will often need a word like OREO for its vowels. And yep, the Shortyz crossword app is my chief phone-based time killer at the moment.
My favourite biscuits are Sainsbury's Quadruple Belgian Chocolate All Butter Cookies. I have received no money from Sainsury's for this post.
>Could a 'fork' of Linux be developed that went back to the basics of IoT system requirements and thus produced an IoT OS kernel that was small, well understood and had the advantages of years of bug clearouts?
You might, but in many cases you might choose to use an OS that already satisfies your requirements.... QNX, for example, is roughly a tenth of the size of the Linux kernal and has been used in industrial control for decades. VxWorks has been used in aerospace, industrial control and medical applications for a similar period.
So, having been used for decades and being small makes these OSs more likely to be 'better understood'. And, unlike most flavours of Linux, they are also 'Real Time OSs' which is essential for some embedded applications.
Linus was being sensible and honest when he suggested that trying to squash Linux to resemble these existing OSs is largely a waste of time.
[ I have used proprietary OSs as my examples]
The first few seconds of this vid give the idea:
If Futurama has taught me anything, it's that depriving robots of alcohol makes them 'drunk', and giving them alcohol makes them 'sober'.
Just to be clear, this dispute is over a Design Patent - what we in the UK would instead call 'Trade Dress', like the shape of branded cola bottle or car radiator grill. What we think of as real, proper patents are referred to in the US as 'Utility Patents'.
This confusion isn't helped that in the US it is the same organisation that registers Patents and Trademarks.... indeed the clue in in the name: United States Patent and Trademark Office.
I don't know why, but I up-voted 'jake'. Not because i think all plod are clueless, but because of the circumstances in which they work can make them appear that way. Also, I'm fairly bored of down-voting him.
A removed example: A bent accountant who commits millions of £$ of fraud will be far better incentivised than any official set to prosecute them. They will have spent years of experience and months of planning to commit a crime that the investigating officer might ojnly have weeks to look at - that is, if they even know there has been a crime to begin with.
>I used to get eight hours out of four alkaline AA batteries in my Z88, back in the 1990s.
And how many AA cells did a Psion 5 run on? Joking apart, how much "useful human work" can be done on a charge? If the "useful human work" is proofreading a document, it could be accomplished on a e-ink screen. We now have laptops that weigh next to nothing, and will will see us through a full day of spreadsheets, websites and word-processing. The Psion would allow you to write documents for days on end.
Where a new leap in battery tech becomes more interesting is in areas where the physics is harder to cheat - such as electric vehicles and power tools.
> Another battery improvement presented which will never reach consumers.
This is a tech NEWS website. If you want to know what is available to buy now, check a retail website like Amazon.
The rest of us here know there is a significant lead time when/if concept leads to market.. it should go without saying.
> "Marshallow" - Bland, soft, cloying, unsubstantial, can't take the heat without falling apart, and easy to poke holes in."
Well, they were thinking of calling it Marathon, but they got Snickered.
>AFAIK the Drake equation is about whether intelligent life exists *on* other planets, not whether they are able to get *off* said planets.
The Drake equation contains this factor:
fc = the fraction of civilizations that develop a technology that releases detectable signs of their existence into space
If a civilisation that cannot reach orbit, the absence of communication satellites might affect the nature of ERM that they emit.
I've uprated RatFox, but i also agree with pip25.

in other news, ursine creatures spotted defecating in arboreal areas.
Gamers dont want certified workstations... the graphics drivers are optomised differently, the grahics hardware carries a premium price tag, and ECC ram does nothing for games.
An epilectic friend of mine has a wicked dark sense of humour - i might try that one out on her next i see her!
You're right, me doing so behind closed doors at people i know is not the same as broadcasting it to world plus dog.
were my computer to fall foul of one of these nasty 'ransom-wares' that encypt my files, would I still be able to access data that was backed-up to one of these NAS drives?
I'm assuming I could, since they run a different OS to my PC, but I'd like a second opinion. Also, does any of this ransom-ware cause my PC to instruct any connected NASs to delete/encrypt data? Cheers!
I'll be making a system image backup before trying Windows 10.
It has been said of cryptic crosswords that the setter's aim is to lose [against the puzzle solver], but to lose slowly and with humour. Since I am not brainy enough for cryptic crosswords, I take some pleasure in deciphering hyperbolic headlines, be those in The Reg or New Scientist. However, I can't parse "21st century malware found in Jane Austen's 19th century prose" in any way that agrees with the actual article.
tl;dr I usually enjoy Reg Headlines, but this one wasn't in the spirit of the game.
>agonising over the precise hue of a light fitting, FFS, certainly doesn't change that.
He wasn't talking about the precise hue, he wasn't talking about a massive difference in colour temperature. The wrong colour temperature can be agony, and worse can upset your circadian rhythms. There is plenty of peer-reviewed evidence that ill-considered lighting can damage your health, sleep patterns, concentration and has been linked to cancers.
Pint-sized superhero? Made me think of the 'Robo-Lister' from series 4 of Red Dwarf... the one where they are up against the rampaging chicken vindaloo monster because a DNA machine they tinkered with didn't behave as expected. JPEG below:
I guess Chipzilla is already taken.
A lot of iOS app developers use iPod Touches as test-beds if they can't afford an iPhone.
Agreed, an iPod Touch with a shitload of of storage for music would be a good thing. According to Anandtech, Apple use particularly fast flash memory in iPhones to reduce the loading time of apps - but a music-based device would be just fine with slower memory... just give us more of it (unlikely given Apple's focus on their new music streaming service)
>Has it got especially better battery life?
Most dedicated MP3 players have very good battery life.
>Is it suitable for small children you don't want to give a phone to?
Well, the sprogs can't call Thailand on it, delete your phone book or look at your naughty pictures. Beyond that, it was Microsoft who first implemented the obvious idea of a 'Kid's Mode' on a mobile OS.
>Now which pocket did I put my earbuds for my Sony Z1?
Can't help you. Are you talking about propriety Sony models with the stereo mics that use the Z-series phone's DSP for noise cancelling duties?
(Whooah, I've just given credit to Apple, MS and an Android vendor. Cool cool cool. )
>I would of thought it was quite rudimentary.
Do have a read of the linked PDF.
